An Ancient Theater



We called up some friends, jumped in the car and took about a two hour road trip down to Epidavros yesterday. It was fun just to get out of Athens and check out more of this country. It also was fun to take new friends with us. This ancient theater is supposed to have been built back in the last quarter of the fourth century B.C. It was awesome and you will be glad to know that I did NOT get out in the middle and sing as several other people did. The acoustics were incredible and you could hear a coin dropped in the middle stage all the way up at the top of the theater. An incredible architectural feat, mind boggling to imagine how it was done back in the day.
